More steak!! Yum! So now all you people who won’t eat sushi because you don’t like fish or any of that… you have no excuse!!!! Hehe. This uses the same flank steak recipe as the last post, so if you have leftovers, you can use them for this!

By the way, this is completely off topic (but it’s my blog so I can do that 😀 ) but does anyone have any good brownie recipes? It’s just been one of those months where I really need some good brownies. Lay in bed and eat brownies… wouldn’t we all just love that? Unfortunately life goes on… I want brownies. Or ice cream. But it’s too cold for ice cream, so brownies. Please? 😀

Cooking Directions

Pat the surface of the flank steak dry with a paper towel, then rub with the cut side of the clove of garlic. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Melt the butter in a skillet that is big enough to hold the flank steak. Put the flank steak in the skillet, and cook over medium-high heat until it is browned on the outside but still pink in the center.

Remove the flank steak from the skillet and cover loosely with foil.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Wash and peel the potato, and slice into 1/4″ x 1/4″ strips.

Place the strips on a baking sheet and brush with olive oil.

Sprinkle with salt and garlic powder.

Bake for 25 minutes, rearranging the french fries halfway through so they don’t burn.

Or if you prefer, you can go buy some fries from your favorite fast food restaurant. Works just as well. 🙂

Slice the onion into rings, cut these in half.

Roll the sushi, using a couple of strips of flank steak, onion, and french fries as your fillings.

As a matter of fact, there’s still one excuse: the Nori leaves. When my sister tried Sushi for the first time two weeks ago, she liked the Nigiri, but not the Maki. That’s why I want to make leave-less maki rolls after all. 😉

If one has guests over for dinner, it’s wise not only to ask them ahead wether they like fish or not, but also how they feel about seaweed.

Hehe good point! I forgot about that! My sister actually has a friend who hates nori, so whenever I make maki at my parents’ house and she’s there, she won’t eat any! She loves Inari though, so I can still feed her. 🙂 Thanks for the tip! 😀

Speaking of rolls for people that don’t like fish (sorry nori haters) I recently tried making a chicken wing roll and was quite surprised at how good it tasted.

I had some left over wings and took a wing and got all the meat off of it. prepared my nori like anything else (I like making the inside out rolls so my rice is on the outside) and when it was time for the fillings I put a line of blue cheese down and then filled the rest with chicken wing meat. I guess I could of julianed up some celery but i am not a fan.
